The blow-out device (2) comprises electrodes (12) electrically connected to the magnetising coil (8) and adapted to cooperate with said arc in such a manner that the latter generates said magnetising current in the magnetising coil (8). The magnetic field for driving the arc is generated by the action of said arc. Said electrodes (12) are located in such a relationship with said contact elements (5, 6) that the arc generated by the separation of said two contact elements is at least partially separated into a first arc (13a) between one contact element (5) and the electrodes (12) and a second arc (13b) between the electrodes (12) and the other contact element (6). Said first or second arc (13a, 13b) is set in parallel coupling with said magnetising coil (8) connected on one side to the electrodes (12) and on the other side to one of the contact elements (5, 6).
